New Meeting Announcement: Recovery By Numbers

This meeting's purpose is to help Marijuana Addicts use the suggested 12 Steps in their recovery. We provide space, materials and assistance for people to:

1) Start their Step Work; 

2) Re-engage after pausing their Step Work; 

3) Start a new round of Steps after completing their last round. We use MA's Life With Hope Book and Workbook.

We follow these safety principles. Everyone is welcome regardless of which step they are working. We strive to be open, to be flexible, and to encourage each other to work the Steps. We live according to the spiritual principles. Once a person has worked through the Steps once, they can help others. It is okay to be silent and not work, just be present. All are welcome.

MA District 11 Safety Statement

In accordance with the principles of our program we want to create an environment of safety for all members. We encourage each person here to contribute to fostering a secure and welcoming environment in which our meeting can take place. As our traditions remind us, the formation and operation of an MA group resides within the group conscience. Therefore, we ask group members to refrain from any behavior which might compromise another’s safety and recovery. We caution members from getting involved with newcomers in matters of romance or business.

For concerns or to report safety incidents, please email: safety@madistrict11.org

Mar-Anon website for support and hope for those affected by another's marijuana use

Mar-Anon is a 12-Step program designed specifically for those who are affected by another's marijuana use. Mar-Anon is based on the 12 steps of AA and Al-Anon - steps that have helped to improve the lives of millions of people over many years, people of all faiths or none. We are not a religious group, instead the steps are a path of self-discovery and personal change. The 12 steps here have been adapted for the Mar-Anon program.
